It may be worth asking why the information publically available on their own website at
http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/freedomofi ... part_2.htm
shows that they shouldnt ..
As on other threads on the site , there are some worrying inconsistencies about how Examiners calculate I & E .. I can understand some measure of discretion about household expenses but when it comes to state benefits they should have a consistent approach.
State benefits are paid from taxation and are for a specific need so there are 2 issues
1) should the creditors be getting money paid from state funds , which is effect paid for by texpayers.
2) state benefit specifically allocated for a need such as child care are in effect being used to pay creditors and are therefore not available for the child .
I really feel quite strongly about this , its morally wrong and legally dubious as it could be classed as mis-use of state funds.
